ABOUT US
BlokTec is a new 'start-up' based in Lewisham and Bromley and is all about teaching S.T.E.A.M.* skills to children & adults alike.
BlokTec use "real-world", programmable, Lego-compatible robots to establish and reinforce engineering, technical & programming skills as we explore our world through stimulating themes & stories.

Educational Philosophy
A wholistic & hands-on approach - BlokTec Courses utilise themes, story telling, science, systems, engineering principles, game theory and 'real-world' Lego-compatible robots . All are welcomed, supported & encouraged to explore their world through robotics & coding, keeping things simple yet motivating, based upon fun and a solid foundation. We take learning and exploration beyond the class setting by providing an affordable, Lego compatible robot to every student.
We also strive to develop stronger "social connection" online through participation, discussion & shared challenges.
BlokTec teaching methods utilise a broad range of subject material combined with repetition to develop coding & technical knowledge, offering a more wholistic approach.
Founder / Owner: Dave Hand
Dave has a passion for STEAM education, believes in empowering young people to develop to their full potential and offers a unique set of skills & experience to realize this:
Dave has a B.Sc. in computer science & well over 20 years I.T. experience - working in commercial, technical & regulatory sectors. He has worked in NZ, UK, Belgium & Switzerland. His broad-ranging I.T. and management experience has benefited numerous companies.
Dave also has a keen interest in film-making & story development. He studied script development and submitted his first short film to the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, which he also attended. He is also Head of Trustees for Newstead Road Pre-School.
Having lead 'live' Lego robotics after-school classes for 2 years and in response to a clear need during the Covid situation, he established BlokTec in November 2020 to make these course offerings more accessible in an increasingly 'online' world.
